No matter the season, it's important to make sure your brakes are working properly. If they are squeaking, fading, or making a grinding noise, it's time to take your car to the shop. Check out these three tips for keeping your brakes in good shape from the brake repair experts at Honolulu's premier auto repair shop, A-1 Auto A/C Specialist & General Auto Repair:

• Inspections: The easiest way to keep your car brakes in tip-top shape is to schedule regular inspections at A-1 Auto A/C Specialist & General Auto Repair. Their team of auto mechanics has the skills and the expertise to quickly and efficiently check your system, make any necessary brake repairs, and get you back on the road in no time.
• Maintenance: While most people expect their vehicle to practically take care of itself, it just isn't possible. Every time you press your brake pedal, your brake pads are slowly wearing down. Drop by A-1 Auto A/C Specialist & General Auto Repair and ask their brake repair crew to replace your pads and check the entire system before the brake pads wear completely, damaging your car and increasing the risk of an accident.
• Driving Habits: If you want to minimize the need for brake repairs and extend the life of your brake system, drive more carefully out on the road. When you need to stop your vehicle, press the brake pedal slowly and allow your car to slowly decrease in speed rather than pressing the brake pedal as hard and as often as possible. While you'll still need to go visit A-1 Auto A/C Specialist & General Auto Repair for brake jobs, you won't have to go as often.
